Some little time ago I wrote concerning one, Reuben Warner, to know if he received a pension in the Revolutionary War. It was a mistake.

Dear Sirs:
I am seeking evidence of Rev. War service to use in application for membership in D. A. R. and Sons of the Revolution. I have three names to submit to you for such evidence. They are:
1. Daniel Jackson Sr. b.1739, County of Tyrone, Ireland, emigrated to Brookfield, Fairfield Co., Conn. Was a lawyer. d.1799. Served in Rev. War.
2. Daniel W. Jackson b.----Brookfield, Fairfield Co., Conn. d. 1853. A Chicago cousin reports to me that in "Connecticut Men in War of Revolution", edited by Henry P. Johnston, Hartford, 1889, Pg. 650 she found this: Connecticut Pensioners Act of 1832.
Daniel Jackson of Fairfield Co., Conn. Rev. War Service, a pensioner under Act of Congress, approved June 7th, 1832.
If Daniel Sr d. 1799 it could not have been he. As Daniel W. d.1853 a very old man in the home of his son William Jackson, he might have been in service as a youth.
3. Reuben Frisbie, b.----, Waterbury or Wolcott, Conn. His brother, Judah Frisbie had two enlistments to his credit I am told, so probably Reuben served also. He was my ancestor so I hope you find that he had a service record that I could use.
Any help that you can give me will be most welcome.
Yours truly,
(Miss) Emma L. Jackson
